No matter how much you test it, there are bound to be some unseen issues that arise when a patch goes live. Patch 6.2 is no exception. glitches and bugs are plaguing users left and right. While expected, it doesn't make things any less frustrating. Especially if you are not sure what you are experiencing is a glitch or bug at all. To help you stay on top of things, Blizzard has put together a list of all the current known issues with Patch 6.2 and some of them are a pretty big deal.

For example, players who faction change and have completed some progress towards the Securing Draenor achievement will be unable to complete it. Why is this so huge? Securing Draenor is one of the many achievements needed to complete Draenor Pathfinder, the achievement that will eventually unlock flight. Talk about a major bummer for players hoping to get this completed quickly.

However, this isn't the only problem happening in game right now. Here are the issues that developers have pinpointed so far:

Classes and PVP:

  • Priest - The Tier 18 Discipline 4 Piece Bonus will always target a character with the least HP regardless of whether they're injured.

Environment:

  • Tanaan Jungle, with the exception of Fang'rila, does not have General or Local Defense chat channels.
  • Horde Garrison Herb Garden assets can temporarily disappear from view.
  • Throne of Thunder: The mini map appears white in certain areas.
  • Male Tauren character models may become stuck sitting in Rank 2 and Rank 3 versions of the Guard Shack asset.
  • Hillsbrad Foothills does not have General or Local Defense chat channels.
  • You may be dismounted when flying between Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Kun'lai Summit.

Gameplay:

  • Bodyguard Followers do not heal themselves after combat ends if the player is mounted at the time

Quests:

  • There are no starting blobs for any of the Docks intro quests.
  • Players who faction change, and have completed some progress towards the achievement "Securing Draenor", will be unable to complete it.

Characters, Creatures, and Mounts:

  • The attachment points for Grimoire of Haste and Burn Corpse are backwards, causing the scroll and torch to animate awkwardly whenever those spells are cast.

User Interface:

  • Experience rewards sometimes display and animate erroneously for ships that were destroyed during a failed naval mission.
  • You are unable to use the bodyguard trait of Leorajh to access the command interface.
  • Game tooltips sometimes get stuck in a state where they only remain on screen for a fraction of a second.
  • The equipment manager fails to populate after relogging from an improper disconnect, requiring a 'proper' relog to fix
  • Shipyards: The ship leveling up animation may flash the screen.
  • The in-game Shop does not display the 'product already owned' checkmark for the Cenarion Hatchling.
  • The Raid Finder re-queue button can enter a non-functional state.
  • Player cooldown tracking is inaccurate when re-logging.
  • Several voiceover sound files cannot be heard in the Hellfire Citadel raid.

Hopefully, most of these issues will be resolved quickly and players will be able to experience Patch 6.2 working as intended sometime soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out the official Blizzard Patch 6.2 Known Issues post for more information and any updates on glitches and bugs you may be running into.
